In my Body Pump Class today, I felt empowered.  There I was, laying on my bench, pumping iron to semi-hard rock music.  It was so energizing!  I was focused, in tune with my body, and I felt the music pull me along.  I usually get bored within ten minutes lifting weights to my own music.  Maybe I need a new playlist. This class lasts an hour, and it’s over before you know it.  Your muscles are glad for the end of the hour, but my mind felt like I could do more.  If you have a chance to try out a class like this, I highly encourage you to do so.  Strengthening your muscles is so important.  Don’t worry.  You can just lift 2.5 pounds on each side if you are nervous. Just get in there and try it.  One of the keys to making exercise a habit, is finding something you enjoy doing.  If it’s a chore, you won’t do it for the long haul.  Try everything. What fitness activities do you love?
